Events are notifications sent by ATEasy to indicate that a specific occurrence has taken place. These events can be tied to predefined procedures which will execute when they receive a specific event signal.
Events are found as a submodule in both the System and the Driver. You can add code to Events by double-clicking on the Events submodule in the Workspace view for the System or Driver, and then selecting an event from the pulldown menu in the client area.
As an examination of the charts below will show, System events and Driver events are identical, except that the System has two additional events, OnInitSystem and OnEndSystem.
System OnInit() events are called before the Init events for the Program and Driver. System OnEnd() events take place after the OnEnd() events for the Program and Driver.
